Abstract
Clinical internship is a veritable tool in exposing and training prospective clinical psychologists in practical issues and relevant skills. In a developing country such as Nigeria where the role of a clinical psychologist has not been adequately understood by the generality of people, practical exposures of this intensive clinical training will help to build in the interns the needed skills and expertise not only to talk as an expert, but also to help draw a clear line of demarcation between quacks and professional clinical psychologists.

Also, administration of relevant and needed tools to help provide adequate explanation for their current episodes was documented. |
